Stabilizing energy reconstructions of the surface detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory
At the Pierre Auger Observatory, ultra-high energy cosmic rays are measured through indirect measurements of the extensive air showers they induce. Accordingly, an energy reconstruction process must be undertaken. For the surface detector, the models utilized for energy reconstruction are empirical …

Performance study of the muon prototype detector at the Pierre Auger Observatory
… spectrum. To study this energy region the Pierre Auger Collaboration has extended the energy range of its observatory in Argentina for high quality data from 0.1 to 3 EeV. The extensions include three additional fluorescence telescopes with a more elevated field of view (HEAT) and a nested …

INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF UHECRS USING THE PIERRE AUGER OBSERVATORY AND PALEO-DETECTORS
… rays at the highest energies collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory, the largest experiment dedicated to UHECR science ever built, and the anisotropy searches carried out using it. I have carried out blind, model-independent searches for overdensities, astrophysical structural correlation …

Study of the performances of the AMIGA muon detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory
… spectrum. To study this energy region, the Pierre Auger Collaboration has extended the energy range of its Observatory in Argentina from 3 × 10^18 down to 10^17 eV by means of new detectors including three additional fluorescence telescopes with a more elevated field of view (HEAT) and a …

Propagation of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays and anisotropy studies with the Pierre Auger Observatory: the multiscale approach
… The clustering of such events, collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory, is used to infer the nature of sources and their density, as well as other physical unknowns. Results are based on the comparison between real and simulated data. Hence, an ad hoc Monte Carlo code (HERMES) for the realistic …

Using power spectra to look for anisotropies in ultra-high energy cosmic ray distributions
… rays (UHECR) remains a mystery to this day. The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) is being constructed now in the hopes that it will help solve this mystery by detecting more UHECR than any previous experiment. In this dissertation, I will discuss this experiment, and analyze the data collected so …
